Starz has developed their own historically-laced miniseries “Da Vinci’s Demons,” premiering on Friday, April 12 at 10/9c. The miniseries, starring Tom Riley, tells the story of Leonardo Da Vinci, one of the smartest figures in history, as he balances on the edge of intelligence and insanity while dealing with his own internal demons and the politics of the age:

“’Da Vinci’s Demons’ follows the ‘untold’ story of the world’s greatest genius during his turbulent youth in Renaissance Florence. Brilliant and passionate, the twenty-five year old Leonardo da Vinci (played by Tom Riley) is an artist, inventor, swordsman, lover, dreamer and idealist. The eight-part series is created and penned by David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel), who also directed the first two episodes.”

You can take a look at our exclusive look at the trailer for the miniseries below the post. Feel special in that you, our loyal ShockYa readers, are some of the first to see the trailer for this intriguing show.
